ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The latest and most prominent area of research in 21
st

century is Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has made
tremendous stride in the last decade, emerging first as a
basic science and then as engineering discipline.
Nanotechnology which deals with nonoparticles is already
helping us in improving our thought that the material can
behave totally in different way at nanolevel due to its
unique properties. We can now imagine that the copper will
become transparent and gold will become very reactive at
nanoparticle stage. Most of the benefits of nanotechnology
will be realized totally in future and this requires thorough
analysis of the both positive and negative impact of the tiny
particle application. The most common applications of the
nanomaterials are in sunscreen, cosmetics, surface coatings,
food packaging, clothing, disinfectants and household
appliances. Nanotechnology may have the ability to make
existing medical applications cheaper and easier to use.
Moreover, nanotechnologies provide essential
improvement potentials for the development of alternative
conventional energy technologies like fuel cells, solar
energy, geothermal energy, sun, wind, water, and tides or
biomass.
The 2
nd
International Conference on Nanotechnology
(ICNT-2015) aims to bring together researchers, industry
personnel, working professionals, entrepreneurs and
funding agencies in a common platform to interact and
exchange their ideas and views with special references to
its latest advancement. This will provide the facilities for
networking and collaboration for accelerating the pace of
research and development activities in this virgin area.
Papers presented at the ICNT-2015 will be published,
subject to passing the stringent peer review by experts, in a
reputed International Journal (J ournal of Nanoscience
Letters). Moreover, all the presented conference papers
will be included in the conference proceeding (with an
ISBN number: I SBN 978-81-927756-2-3).
